I have manually restarted my phone maybe once this year. I haven’t had my watch that long but I imagine it’ll be much the same. Unless it’s playing up and warrants a restart, I can’t see myself ever doing that.

Now that I say it out loud, boy are these devices reliable and stable after such a large uptime.

I've never turned off my series-0 by choice. The only times I've powered down is when things started playing up. I once had the workout app break and whenever I launched it, it would automatically start a run but the stopwatch would never go to 1 second (it would just run the 100ths from 0 to 99) and those occasions I updated. There was also a time I ran it for two 3 days without a charger - I ended up in low power mode for the last day.

Only on vacation when traveling without Watch for multiple days to avoid battery draining. In the past there were problems with full deflated batteries to get them charged again, but I'm still on Watch 0 (the really first one).

No, its more an habbit. When I dont have the watch on my wrist I turn it off, done that on my S0 and doing that now on my S4 aswell.

I don't get it. Why do you turn it off? To save on battery? Or what?
I just slip off the Watch when going to bed, put it on the charger, no matter what percentage of battery, and use it as my bedside clock.

I really don't want to put it on in the morning, and first having to wait for it to have booted up.
I just want to strap on the watch, unlock it with Face ID on my phone or the 4-digit code, and go off to work.

My watch is only rebooted when I notice it acting funny (since S0 waited to upgrade until S4). That's it. The only time I'm not wearing it is when it is charging (I then put my S0 on) or when wearing my Rolex.

I never turn off my watch, laptops, phones, or desktops. The only time they go off is during a software update. My Mini has not been turned off in over a year. My laptops are turned off (Sometimes) when I travel but that's it. I restart my phones sometimes if there is a software issue.

I have had my series 4 watch for a couple of months. I wear it pretty much all the time. So it is either on my wrist or on the charger. Never gets turned off.
